System massively slows down after a few minutes of use
Hello.
I'm using Bazzite desktop gnome NVIDIA stable. I'm using an AMD Ryzen 3 3100, a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660, and a MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max Mobo.
I believe since the latest NVIDIA driver Flatpak updates my system works normally but after 5 minutes (or less) of use it massively slows down. Some processes (such as Firefox and gnome-shell) report using a CPU usage % above 100 while the slowdown is happening and then about 10-15 minutes later (sometimes sooner) the slowdown ceases for about 5 minutes only to be massively slowed down again.
I tried booting a Ubuntu live CD to back up my entire disks in case I have to reinstall Bazzite (or worst case scenario: move to another Distro) which uses the NV drivers on Wayland and surprise surprise, I didn't have any slowdowns in 3 hours of use.
I tried using Xorg instead of Wayland and the same problem still happens. This is clearly a bug, and it appears to be related to video drivers (possibly the Flatpak ones) but I'm not an expert so I can't exactly pinpoint what's going wrong. I don't even know if this is possibly the Flatpak drivers and not the ones in Bazzite. My system us fully updated.
So my questions are: is there a way to roll back NVIDIA drivers in Bazzite? Is there a way to uninstall the NVIDIA drivers in Bazzite so that I can temporarily use NV and see if the problem fixes itself at least temporarily? Are there any risks in downgrade the Flatpak NVIDIA drivers while using a more recent NVIDIA driver from Bazzite?
I would appreciate some help with this issue since my PC has become mostly unusable.
Thank you for your time.
